GoBanana Wrote:I have only one question, thanks.

AppleTV (Mac OS X )+ XBMC + Netflix = Streaming through Safari or Firefox

All I need is the information for the 2 files, after 9 pages it is still is not clear what is required to actually get it working, very very confused. Thank in advance.

i haven't tested it on appletv as i don't have one, but it should work the same as osx if you can play the file in your browser, as the plugin links out to the browser.

for osx the playercorefactory.xml should be

Code:
<playercorefactory>

  <players>

    <player name="IE" type="ExternalPlayer">

     <filename>/usr/bin/open</filename>

     <args>"{1}"</args>

     <hidexbmc>false</hidexbmc>

     <hideconsole>false</hideconsole>

     <warpcursor>none</warpcursor>

    </player>

  </players>

  <rules action="prepend">

    <rule name="htm" filetypes="htm" player="IE" />

  </rules>

</playercorefactory>

this info is also now in post 2, as well as the info for windows and where the files go

Thank you. I was trying these steps from post 2 and maybe I wasn't doing it correctly. I was dropping the 2 files into /Library/Application Support/XBMC/userdata/addon_data/plugin.video.xmbcflicks folder, maybe this is incorrect.

Let me go try this new info.

Still no luck. When I run the app through Video->Video Add-ons it loads the directory menu and when I click on a menu I get an error in the bottom right corner saying script failed.

make sure you have set the option of OSX in the addon settings

Yes Thank you, I have done that.

Here is what the AppleTv file structure looks like, its quite a different because there is no User directory, just to give you an idea.

And where I have been dropping the 2 files.

Not sure if that helps us at all.

I'm usually pretty good at following instructions, but I can't get Netflicks to play. Everything works right up until the time I click play and then it returns me to the main menu.

I downloaded the iewrap.exe file and placed it in the directory shown below in my playercorefactory.xml. The portion of this file that launches TMT5 to play blu-ray discs still works fine.

I created the advancedsettings.xml file

I already had an existing playercorefactory.xml file, so I appended it thusly, not sure if it was done right.

Code:
<playercorefactory>

  <players>

    <player name="TMTMCEPlayer" type="ExternalPlayer" audio="false" video="true">

      <filename>C:\Program Files (x86)\ArcSoft\TotalMedia Theatre 5\\uLaunchTMT5.exe</filename>

    <args>"I:"</args>

      <hidexbmc>true</hidexbmc>

      <hideconsole>true</hideconsole>

      <warpcursor>none</warpcursor>

    </player>

  </players>

  <rules action="prepend">

    <rule name="Blu-Ray" protocols="bd" player="TMTMCEPlayer"/>

  </rules>

  <players>

    <player name="IE" type="ExternalPlayer">

     <filename>C:\Users\JT\AppData\Roaming\XBMC\addons\plugin.video.xbmcflicks\resources\lib\iewrap.exe</filename>

     <args> "{1}"</args>

     <hidexbmc>false</hidexbmc>

     <hideconsole>false</hideconsole>

     <warpcursor>none</warpcursor>

    </player>

  </players>

  <rules action="prepend">

    <rule name="html" filetypes="html" player="IE" />

  </rules>

</playercorefactory>

I have a debug log, but the forum will only let me post 10000 characters, so if you tell me which part of the log to post I will do that ASAP.

Please help and thank you in advance for your time. Jon

Is it possible using the XBMC addons framwork to automatically append appropriate settings to advancedsettings.xml and playercorefactory.xml, based on which platform folks are using? (and create the files if not present)

Seems like that would solve a lot of issues for folks, but I don't think it's possible yet...

but it seems to go along with the spirit of the addons functionality!

fekker · 2010-12-24, 00:52

not sure on the apple tv one, hopefully another OSX user can assist

for the playercoresettings with an exsisting player, you need to put it in the player section and rules, like below

Code:
<playercorefactory>

  <players>

    <player name="TMTMCEPlayer" type="ExternalPlayer" audio="false" video="true">

      <filename>C:\Program Files (x86)\ArcSoft\TotalMedia Theatre 5\\uLaunchTMT5.exe</filename>

    <args>"I:"</args>

      <hidexbmc>true</hidexbmc>

      <hideconsole>true</hideconsole>

      <warpcursor>none</warpcursor>

    </player>

    <player name="IE" type="ExternalPlayer">

     <filename>C:\Users\JT\AppData\Roaming\XBMC\addons\plugin.video.xbmcflicks\resources\lib\iewrap.exe</filename>

     <args> "{1}"</args>

     <hidexbmc>false</hidexbmc>

     <hideconsole>false</hideconsole>

     <warpcursor>none</warpcursor>

    </player>

  </players>

  <rules action="prepend">

    <rule name="Blu-Ray" protocols="bd" player="TMTMCEPlayer"/>

    <rule name="html" filetypes="html" player="IE" />

  </rules>

</playercorefactory>

if i could find a way to make the calls without requiring the external files, i'd gladly do that, just not sure it's an option yet.

clubwerks · 2010-12-24, 00:57

I almost did that. Thanks I'll give it a try.

clubwerks · 2010-12-24, 01:03

Nope, same thing. Here's the last log from the last minute or so.

I really appreciate the quick help BTW, I'm trying to patch together my wife XMAS present at the last minute, a completely idiot proof HTPC. Laugh

try using the standard playercorefactory (i.e. without the setting you already have) .. it's not trying to use the correct player, which is why the error is from the dvdplayer, it should say ie player

Thank you so much. While doing that, I looked at the code again and I had an extra </players> between the two players. Fixed. Now if only I can figure out how to make my remote work at the switch.

In retrospect, I should have just cut and pasted your code.

I feel like a complete moron, but I just simply can't find the plugin in XBMC... I'm using 10.0 and have checked Program Add-ons, Video Add-ons (actually checked all of the add on sections).

Anyone have an idea as to what's going on?
